PUDDLE 2011 online photo/art contest winners announced!

Three entries were picked as winners by judge gogojimmy. She assessed the photos independent of the fan favorite voting.

She picked jahzteen A - "Trail of Cranes" as the overall winner. She says, "I really like the composition in the photo and it's crisp and clear and nice to look at, and it uses the theme in a nice way with the little paper cranes."
jahzteen A - "Trail of Cranes"


She picked Laurie Anna Moussaoui A for the best edited photo. "It's really pretty, and the crane nest on the head is a great way to involve the theme."

She picked Kobold A - "Crane Kick!" for the best pose. "Also because it has a really nice feel to it with the silhouette and because it uses the crane theme really well."
Kobold A - "Crane Kick!"


She adds, "All the photos were really great, and there are so many too! It was really, really, hard to choose. I hope you'll have a great PUDDLE! Wish I could be there!"

In addition, three entries were clear fan favorites in the poll:

Tara B - "Mastering the Crane 2"


Applecandy B - "Looking for the Crane"


Utsu-Chan A

BIG congrats to all the winners!

The November 2011 issue of Doll Collector magazine has a three-page spread on the Pullip and Dal Doll Lovers Event. The first page is a story on and photos from the event, while the second two pages cover the photo/art contest. It lists the three winners chosen by gogojimmy and the three fan favorites and 17 of the entries are shown, along with the names of the photographers and artists. (I sent all of the entries, but some of them had been resized to be too small to print in a magazine).

Wow! I see one of my photos, how exciting! Now I have to run out and find a copy of the magazine.

And your name is under the photo. Pretty cool, huh!

I guess that means I've been outed and now everyone will know who I am and that I play with dolls!
Not that my friends and family read Doll Collector.

I'll grab one!

I will try to get you one, applecandy! But I'm not sure when I'll be in a town that has a book store with doll magazines for sale.

Thank you, True! I'll cross fingers!
